Web-slinging adventures have returned to New York for players with the drop of Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The sequel to the first Spider-Man game has fans ready to jump in and fight crime, but this time as the young teen apprentice of Peter Parker, Miles Morales. The game also sees the return of Miles’ voice actor from Marvel’s Spider-Man, and the wonderful performance that he introduced to the first game which brought Miles’ character to life. Miles’ voice actor has been in several popular video games, but his rise to fame didn’t begin there.
Spider-Man isn’t the only thing that American voice actor Nadji Jeter is known for. The young actor got his start in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was noticed for his acting and singing talents as well as his ability to dance. He has been in many different movies and a few games, joining Simon Krieger’s voice actor Troy Baker as another Spider-Man voice actor who played a notable character in The Last of Us. There Jeter played a character named Sam, a young boy trying to survive the zombie apocalypse with his brother. While Nadji is rather young, born in 1996, his age allows for an authentic and relatable performance for Miles’ character as a young and headstrong teen hoping to prove his worth as Spider-Man.
So far, Nadji has played Miles in the 2018 Spider-Man game, as well as in Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: Black Order. In the 2018 PS4 title Marvel’s Spider-Man, Miles is a prominent side character that becomes playable in several missions. Fans get to watch his initiation into his role as a Spider-Man in training, which builds to his leading role in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Nadji’s returning portrayal of Miles Morales throughout these games creates a consistent character that players can not only related to, but grow with, as his character is filled out and expanded on in each game.

While Nadji is young, and new to the scene as a voice actor, he has created a presence in his work as Miles Morales. The Marvel projects that he has worked on with the teenage Spider-Man have been well received by fans. His performance as Miles has helped aid in the success of the sequel, as fans set out to learn what happens next in the story, and why it is that Miles is now standing in for Peter in the new game. While the majority of Nadji’s roles have been in film, his work as Sam from The Last of Us, and the impression he has made in Marvel games as Miles, shows that he has a promising future in voice acting.
Hopefully, fans of the new game will see many more stories that include Nadji Jeter as the voice and personality of Miles in the Spider-Man universe, as well as other Marvel games that include the determined young teen.
